Karaoké Down in the Valley The Head and the Heart

I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade

Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

Call it one drink too many

Call it pride of a man

But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand

'Cos they both end in trouble and start with a grin

Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin

We do it over and over and over again

We do it over and over and over again

Ho oh

Ho oh oh ooh ooh oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh

Ho oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh

I know there's California

Oklahoma

And all of the places I ain't ever been to but

Down in the valley with whiskey rivers

These are the places you will find me hidin'

These are the places

I will always go

These are the places

I will always go

I am on my way, I am on my way

I am on my way back to where I started

Ho oh

Ho oh oh ooh ooh

Ho oh

One more for the stars and their eyes in the walls

I hail your face and then

I saw you standin' out

I saw your face in the crowd and you came out

You saw me crossin' the valley and you came in

Look at the sign on the door and it reads to me

Just like the grass and the sign when you walked in

Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh

I am on my way, I am on my way

I am on my way back to where I started

California

Oklahoma and all of the places I ain't ever been to but

Down in the valley with whiskey rivers

These are the places you will find me hidin'

These are the places

I will always go

These are the places

I will always go

So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
